Stolen Honda trail Portland,OR

[theecaptain]

What we all dread has happened. I gave myself a false sense of security and this morning at around 5 am someone walked up to my porch and walked off with my bike. A police report has been filed and the video is going to be sent to the PD. If anyone spots it please contact me asap!

Sorry for your loss. Was the steering locked?

Keep an eye on Offerup. BikeIndex, the bicycle theft recovery account on twitter, keeps bitching about how even Craigslist lifts a finger to recover bikes, but Offerup is basically a cesspool.

Also there's a good chance parts will be swapped out. What's the last few of the s/n of the bike?

Nope

Well I hope you have full coverage like my bike has. Guy stopped at a local country bar, his brand new motocross bike strapped and standing pretty in his truck bed. Went in to grab a beer and came back out 20 minutes later to the dropped tailgate, bike went from dealership to disappearing the same day. Doubt he ever got his bike back. Ya can’t never have too much insurance.

I'm sorry you Honda was stolen. Your bike means a lot to You, just like mine is important to me. I recently installed air tags (discretely) on my bikes.
I also removed the chime from the air tag so as not alert someone that I'm tracking the (stolen) bike. They're cheap about $20 and NO subscription service
required!

Crime in Portland? No way could that happen up there, it's such a utopian experience there now. No one has to work, no pesky police to deal with, what could go wrong?
Seriously though, I hope they recover your bike ,it's looks like you had it set up really nicely., good luck with that

Deguello-Could you share a link for the air tags you bought.?I'm finding either Bluetooth that only work for short distance, subscription, or Apple products and I use Android.
Thanks

Amazon.com

I use these with my Iphone. So far, works great. I have other EUFY products so it tied into my EUFY app but they also work on the Apple "Find My" app also.

Oh they have been super helpful, totally not rude at all and I'm sure they are working really hard on finding it right now . I'm a working dad, so I had to save for a long time to get my dream bike and outfit it. Now wherever I drive and I see something red in the corner of my eye my heart drops. Lock up your bikes!

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I'm still on the search for Android support. From what I can tell there just isn't a product like the Apple Air Tag for Android. Google is working on one that will be just as good...when it is released. I'll be watching for the release.

Quite expensive compared to the Bluetooth trackers but I use SIZZAPP for GPS tracking which does not require any subscription. I also use Invoxia but that requires a subscription renewal over time. The SIZZAPP has a lot more features specific to vehicle tracking, but it is meant to be hard wired which can be difficult to conceal since wires run to it. It sends SMS or push alerts promptly when the device is moved, tilted, or if it is disconnected from the vehicle power source (battery) and falls back to its internal backup battery.

Great info as usual dmonkey. Thanks much for the links. Lots to mull over

Sorry to hear you lost your Trail,
Not sure if that's a good idea, maybe post the frame number for everyone to notice?

 

[G19Tony]

I have an Invoxia on mine... and full coverage.

This thread got me thinking. I just ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Vulcan-Brand...99-aa0c-047c6c3db5b7&pd_rd_i=B06WD6JXMG&psc=1

It will mainly be for the Mototote.

It was found today in a tweaker den with a bunch of other stolen shit. I went and looked at it and it wasn't good. Honda trail homies, get you some air tags this instant as I wish I had.

And cut the speaker wire, or whatever you do to stop the beeping to alert you are being tracked

That's a shame. Glad you got closure on what happened to it though. Did you have theft or comprehensive coverage on the motorcycle's insurance policy?
